THE New York Sun names William
P. Coleman of California, as fitting
Democratic candidate for the next
President, commencing him as man
whose heart beats always with the warm
blood of genuine Democracy. The
San Francisco Call seconds the Sum-
suggestion as a high compliment to a
merchant of that city who has persist
emily declined such Offices as the party
in his State has from time to time Of
fered him. 1t thinks, however, that
tbs Presidency might tempt him, but
doubts if he can be nominated, and
SO do we the simple fact that the New
York Sun has put his name forward
kills Mr., Coleman's prospects, grant
ing that he ever had any.

THE NEGRO MATTHEW'S.

The Wilmington Star and Wades-
boro Times voice our sentiments
in the following paragraphs. The
Star says:
We are glad the Senate rejected
Matthews, the New York negro. He
had been rejected before. 1t was an
insult to the people of Washington
City to go to New York State for a
negro to fill an office for them when
they had SO many worthy and capable
Democrats asking for it. The best
comment we have seen is the follow
ing, which we find in the Wadesboro
Times:
"This is white mans government,
and as an office holder the negro is
entirely out of place. We hope the
Senate will continue to reject 'Mr.'
Matthews or any other negro who is
nominated by Cleveland, the chief of
the Independents. AS we have said
before, if President Cleveland is infat-
uated with this negro Matthews beyond
redemption then, he should make him
his private secretary"

Southern Chivalry.
Especially Contributed.l

Amid all the widespread and deep
seated decentralization that followed
the civil war and the mighty upheaval
of our social system, accompanied by
revolution in our industrial affairs;
amid all that there is now to discourage
US (and there is great deaD there is
one thing that gives hope for it shows
that amid it all the Chivalry and
manhood Of the Southern people,
though to some extent necessarily
weakened by the great demo-alizing
agencies brought to bear against them,
have never been destroyed. We ad-
NIT that there is much among our
people, that is practiced every day to
cause us deep regrets, but we need
never expect to find a people who are
perfect in thought, feeling and
action. Such people never have
been found; never will be found.
When We compare the type of man
hood, the standard of morality of the
Southern people, with others, we feel
that we have cause for sincere self
congratulation. In nothing is this
more conspicuous than in the chivalric
devotion to woman manifested by our
people -.
Nowhere upon the face of the globe
IS woman's character more respected
and more sacredly regarded and
defended then among our Southern
people. 1t is this that gives us hope.
There is always hope for any people
who regard the character of their
women as sacred thing. This is SO
of the South. At the North it is very
different. The daily record of elope-
ments, divorces and all manner of
crimes against society there, shows a
state of social corruption and disregard
for the character of woman that has
never existed among US.
The offenses against the character
OF woman are oftentimes of such a
nature that the law cannot reach them.
Among US, he who offends against the
character of our women does so at his
peril, regardless of the law. There is
no doubt that extreme measures of
violence are resorted to when milder
methods should have been employed,
but we will never despair of a people
who are always ready to defend and
protect the character of their women
at all hazards and at any cost. Let
other men think as they please but we
are proud of that Southern chivalry
The gold leaf. [volume] (Henderson, N.C.) 1881-1911, 1887-02-03
which stands as a safeguard to the

which stands as a safeguard to the
character of our women.
The women themselves should have
the credit for this, for after all 1t IS
the women who give tone and strength
to society. God bless our fair, brave,
noble Southern women. Who IS 1t
that would not be chivalrous to them!
Dear reader, can you recall the hero
ism of our women during the late
war? 1t seems to me that no Con-
federates were more worthy OF our
loving remembrance than those who
bound their warriors sash when he
went forth TO fight; who suffered worse
than death, a thousand times, when
battle ragged loud and long; who were
stung and wounded by prlvations that
the hardy soldier never knew, and
who, besides, were exposed to the
injuries and taunts of the infamous
raiders who, during and after the war,
visited Southern homes and stripped
them of what was hottest and dearest,
because it was dear and holy. Can
you forget such herols:n, suffering, and
patriotism without loving and honor
ing the tender mothers, the thoughtful
sisters, and all the gracious gentle
women who unfaltefiagly babe thell
kinsmen do their duty, and who, tol
their part, bore unhinchingly menta
suffering and physical pam such as NJ
other nation of such women has ever
known since the world began.

THE STATE PENITENTIARY AND
THE CONVICTS.

The GOLD LEAF holds that the con-
victs of the State should be worked for
the benefit of the State, and in such
way as not bring them in competl-
ton with honest labor. Certainly
they should not be put out to build up
private corporations when the State
virtually gets no reward for their labor.
The Biblical Recorder throws some
light on the subject of why the peni-
tertiary is not source of revenue to
the State, when it says: -
cit may interest our readers to
know why it costs the State of North
Carolina S256,ooo to support the Pen
itentiary, when the Penltentiaries of
some other States pay a surplus into
the State Treasures. A bill passed
the House of Representatives last week
giving $50 of our convicts to a private
corporation, free of any charge what
ever. The State has to board these
convicts, pay for guards to watch them,
build stockades to keep them in at
night, hire cooks to prepare their food
and pay women to wash their clothes.
And if any of these convicts or en-
ployees have to pass over the railroad
on which they are working the State
has to pay freight, &c. The policy of
certain leaders seems to be to select
and build up monied aristocracy at
the States expense, or rather at the
expense of the taxpayers of the State.
Each convict in the Penitentiary is
worth his board and clothes and SIX
per annum, and no man or corporu-
ton should have one of them at less
than this"
How long are the ax-pavers of
North Carolina to have such imposi-
tions saddled upon them? We do not
object to the building ofrailroads-we
want to see more of them scattered all
over the State-but We contend that
the individuals who are to profit by
them should build them and pay for
them.
Let the convicts be worked upon
the county roads, each county employ
ing its own criminals. That il seems
to US the most feasible way of settling
the convict question.

Mr.. PATRICK AND THE BU-
REAU OF IMMIGRATION.

1t is a very easy matter for people
to find fault and complain at the
work of others-especially those IN
positions of responsibility-but it IS
not quite so easy topoint out aremedy
as it is to find an evil, or an imaginary
one. The Bureau Of immigration and
State Agricultural Department are
cases at instance. Some people and
members of the Press complain OF
these two branches of our State service
without knowing what they are really
doing or troubling to acquaint them
selves. That Mr.. Patrick as head Of
the Bureau of immigration is dong
good work for the State cannot be
DISPUTED and so all Will admit who
understand the workings of the office
and what 1t has accomplished. The
Farmers, Convention at Raleigh en-
dorsed it, and such would hardly have
been done had not such endorsement
/ been deserve. The Elizabeth City
FaLeon is fair enough to say this, after
making certain charges against Mr..
| Patrick, which it has since had cause
to feel were not warranted. The Fal-
cen says:
In previous issue of the Falcon,
we INDUCED in some structures upon
the immigration Bureau, and its
management by Mr.. Patrick. We
were under the impression that he
was devoting his entire attention tc
that section of North Carolina, which
is tributary to the Richmond & Dan
Vile railroad. to the utter neglect Of
the Albemarle section. In a recent
conversation with the Commissioner
he explained to us that owing to the
limited means at his command, he
found it impossible to distribute them
over an extensive area without diluting
and weakening every power for good
which his position gave to him. We
freely admit the correctness of thi:
view and appreciate the difficultie:
which surround him. This course
which he is pursuing is not only proper
but It is the only course which is lef
open to him. Without intending any
eulogy Of Mr.. Patrick, we concede te
him great energy, discriminate judg
ment and an earnest desire to execute
the high trust confded to him for the
benefit of all the people in NORTH
Carolina, His knowledge of the re
quirements of the situation, which ha
been obtained by patient effort ano
by long experience, eminently fit hin
for the place and we sincerely hope
that he may continue in his presen
position. This is one instance, a
least, where the principles of Civil
Service Reform should be adhered to
and where the right man has beer
found. We urge our State authortie
to retain the present COMMISSIONS
and to strengthen his hands by liberia
appropriations. There is nothing
which the old North State so i'm
peratively demands as an influx O
capital and immigration of the RICH
kind. Our own beloved section, which
is the garden spot of the State, would
quickly bloom as the rose, if the tide
of Northern men who are seekins
investment in Southern lands, coule
be turned this way. Let us be patien
and hopeful. A better day is coming
